As usual, superb service, excellent food and a nice laid back atmosphere. I don't really like pizza that much, but I love Caminata's, and the charcoal base is amazing!!!

First time, friends get together. Cosy restaurant, liked the vibe. Food was good but nothing I would go back for. We did not have salt & pepper on the table and had to ask other diners for some. Overall an ok experience.

Great meal and good service, food was delicious - seating in one side was a little low though, so we had to move our two tallest (table for 4) to sit on the bench as it was a bit low against the table!

As always - great food and service. We had to wait for our table and the waiter brought us over a couple of glasses of prosecco - a really nice gesture, they really know how to look after their guests and make them feel welcome

Is this place under new management? Menu and wine list remains similar and food was great, but slightly different atmosphere. Goats cheese croquets were great, spicier than expected but delicious

I am only marking this badly because our table was cancelled that afternoon because they couldn’t fit us in. You shouldn’t let us book if the table is not available. I went to speak to caminata and they were polite and apologetic, however it did leave us in a mess on a Saturday night as it was too late to book a table somewhere then and it was for a birthday meal. I usually really like caminata.
